Recycling Denim

Once I'd cleared some space on my work table I figured that I might as well sort through the pile of old jeans a friend brought in and see what I could do with them.
Most of the time because they're so hard on my scissors and sewing machine I stick to tote bags and small throws that can be used as rugs or quilts.
Today I'm not quite sure so I'll be thinking about that as I cut out the best parts of the fabric and get some of the rest of it out of my way.
What's your favorite thing to do with them?

Going to Pieces, again

Some one's always got old jeans and other denim bits to get rid of so I'm starting another denim quilt. Each time I do one I think of another way to improve both my technique and my results. Having a little fun as I work and being able to sell a few makes it all worthwhile so keep on sending stuff my way and I'll keep recycling it.
